Why, Internet, Why?

This is an excerpt of the email that Mike forwarded me yesterday afternoon:
Hi there Michael!

I'm writing to
let you know that the Dreamer Design Ditto Manhattan Lite Stroller you ordered
is no longer available from the manufacturer. Dreamer Design has
discontinued the item, and will only be manufacturing the Deluxe model. I
am REALLY sorry about this, I just found out today when I was getting an
update. I have cancelled your current order, and your credit card has not
been charged.

Due to the inconvenience, we are offering you 10% off
if you choose to place an order for the Deluxe model instead - which is expected
to come in to stock in late October/early November.

Again, I'm very sorry for the
inconvenience!

Thanks,

Jennifer @

The stroller was supposed to ship this week, and I was so looking forward to being able to put Charlie in it for walks. The deluxe model is $400 and there is no way that I will be purchasing that, as it is too nice for outdoor walking in my opinion (and even with the discount, it is $70 more than I would ever spend on a stroller). This whole stroller thing has totally bummed me out, and, now, after months of waiting, and generous monetary gifts from my friends, I am back to square zero. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

Hi, This is Tyler from Jogging Stroller.com. Sorry about the mis-hap - Dreamer Design has sort of changed ownership and they are making decisisons without much consideration for there retailers or customers. They are now owned by the factory that makes them.

I'd suggest checking out our discount / closeout site: http://www.returnsforsale.com. Quite a few deals there that may fight your budget and needs. If you need any help, please feel free to contact me: tyler@nicheretail.com
